fraud while only 59 percent say they would call out death of company property but what about the rest meghan rates is a business school instructor specializing in leadership she provides 5 tips on how to create a culture of openness in companies whether we speak up or stay silent affects compliance affects safety issues of malpractise but also can create environments of innovation gelati and of course inclusive to helping people to speak up work matters. so here's my advice on how to create a speak up culture in your workplace. think about the last 5 challenge. now if you're struggling to think of examples then paths of those find you a little bit scary. so

a classic froze that leaders and managers often make is my door is always open. yes but you're still in your office there's something about getting outside of that environment because that can be quite intimidating for people coming into your place. start focusing on getting people to be brain and speak up i'm focusing more of your time and energy on listening and learning how to help people to feel safe. i've met leaders who tell me they need to speak up more they need to be more assertive and courageous rather focus on creating an environment where they don't have to be so brave in the 1st place for example there's a great deal of difference in trying to have a conversation with someone in a group meeting versus taking somebody for a walk outside in the park you'll get

a very different quality of conversation depending on what you do. assuming that you need to do more work to help people speak up than you think so i research shows that the more senior you are the more likely you are to think that people are speaking up when they're not and we call this the optimism about bill if you find yourself thinking you have people are speaking up well round here then challenge your assumptions. that chief executives we interviewed really wanted to help his team to speak up but he confided to us that he had a little list in his mind of the people that he listened to and the people that he didn't but you and i we all have these little lists who's on your

walls very often the voices we hear are a lot like our own and they're from people that look like us it means that you're not aware of others' experiences within your organization and potentially outside of it as well sac see need to be reaching out and connecting with those groups. and. you send signals to others all the time through our body and verbal language and some of those signals help others to speak up and some keep. silent the moment after someone has spoken up your response will determine whether a bad person and probably that colleagues will speak up next time i'm afraid that 9 times out of 10 you might respond really well unfortunately it's

that ted. that everybody will remember and talk about that time when you were really tired or you were really stressed so if you do kind of make a mistake and you do realize in hindsight that you've reacted in a way that might be detrimental then reach out to that person. helping people to speak up at work matters it matters for us it matters to them and one of the most important things i've talked about is our ability to create a safe environment where people can speak up. and i have my 5 points tips will enable me to do that. at the end of the day doing the right thing is everyone's responsibility but the responsibility and liability grows the higher up the institutional ladder you go how do leaders ensure that ethical standards are

adhere to some scandal hit companies now invest a lot of money in compliance our reporter holzman spoke to the chief executive of one such company bill thing or a construction firm with business around the world who say they have managed to clean up their act. in germany they think a little gift is a good way to maintain friendships and make new ones so i brought along a bottle of red wine and a small envelope. removes the shirt you have you brought you a little something things but obviously i can't accept this on blow by have to give it back if you don't think it's maybe going let's elect to take that really but i'd hoped our interview would be especially nice. compliance is full compliance is very important to us so we're always very careful i have to pass everything on to our head of compliance he'll put it to good use. sick.

compliance means sticking to rules against corruption tom blades wants to show that that's now the norm in his company building there and recent here is corruption has been an issue. which produces and install specter equipment worldwide. the biggest corruption case emerged in nigeria and 2003 where a subsidiary paid bribes to the government to lend contracts bill figure was fined $32000000.00. the us department of justice is also watching bill finger closely because the scandal involved an american joint venture partner. blades and his predecessors have had to provide regular updates on their compliance since the case against the company was proven seemed to nothing for 510 years after the event we had to pay a fine as an aside i deferred prosecution agreement and deferred prosecution

agreement as i am takes lays down what we have to do to make sure we show that we're compliant and listen and that we will remain compliant in the future as well compliance leaving. compliance not. in the. blaine's was born in hamburg to a british father and a german mother and he has worked in germany since the late 1990 s. and came to building are and may 2016 so it's ok for governments but he says it all so you took over just at the time of the nigeria case so i didn't need. to wait a month or take a step back. when and please mind that sign is that part of compliance no it's health and safety was the one you were telling me to grab the railing come on mr blades you don't do that all the time surely it's my each and every time because rule number 2 be a good example. and says this is all right setting

a good example ok this isn't where when you arrived at a building or as it was dealing with the fallout from nigeria. you know that's right it was under way. you could have gone to work for a company with fewer challenges one perhaps with more positive prospects right if you knew anything so i didn't come here because of the corruption. i came here because this company is undergoing a transformational thing and because i've been working for almost 40 years on the industrial services business it here isn't it and that's why i said yes i'll go for that on the sins of the us so as of one month when bill finger says it set up a compliant system what does that mean. compliances i include guns i'm thought a smile on clients is quite straightforward it's keeping a promise of integrity you've got a very simple example is what's appropriate and to say you're in talks with a client and decide ok let's go for something to eat you know what's appropriate

there if it's a president someone from the very top of it then what's appropriate is very different from what's appropriate when you're out with the guys from the construction sites and schooling of devotion is into. it wasn't only nigeria at the world cup in brazil $124.00 team a subsidiary was accused of trying to get contracts built in europe dropped the company. by just half what kind of penalties didn't employees face spiffing a few mean regarding malfeasance or corruption that big. this is after the radical case but we have to be prepared for such cases initially we'd hand the contract back because we cheated to get it. when we'd start an investigation to find out who was behind it all. and that employees would have to reckon with us filing a criminal complaint with prosecutors. most and other it also be internal

consequences including sacking people. and they'd have to expect we'd also want compensation we lost the contract. give us a shade for me it's about hygiene for me it's just like with a hospital if a hospital isn't clean then it's a bad hospital it's not about good or bad doctors want to hospitals no longer clean this size that you simply wouldn't go there live in the. house they'd. write and i need to thank you. for the others getting thank you thank you to decide just. saw divine so i left the wine here it's up stairs in the compliance department it will be catalogued and maybe turn up in a raffle to raise money for a good cause obviously tom blades didn't keep the cash and the same ethical rules apply to me as a journalist 0 tolerance for bribery. remember

if you see something say something although we know that can be hard that's it for this edition of may thanks very much for watching see you again soon.

this is the w.'s line from the global party hopping mostly without spectators for a fireworks night of. fortunes in thailand elsewhere people to stay at our little watch the show on t.v. also on the program. last trucks cross between the european union and great britain the head of the u. case final departure from me a new single market big 90 brussels and a half century relationship. on the eve of a year that will see how off east germany's chancellor think about rakhal calls for

patience in tackling the content of the crisis she describes as a once in a century challenge. i'm phil go welcome to the program and welcome to. the. this. is a live picture from the thai capital bangkok as they welcome a new 2021 and we're told that the fireworks are particularly in co friendly as they are made of sticky rice. has been a serious party pooper this year but one of the 1st countries to ring in 2021 new zealand was able to celebrate without restrictions. new zealand is one of the few places in the world if you successfully eliminate code it. went ahead as usual

without masks or social distancing. meanwhile climb in australia had been to give frontline workers special tickets for the best views of the spectacular sydney harbor bridge fireworks but a recent outbreak in the city ruin those plans and instead asked people to stay at home and watch the show on t.v. . in just a few hours the united kingdom will cut its legal ties with the european union 4 and a half years after a narrow majority of britons voted to leave the bloc goods will continue to flow between the u.k. and a new tariff free after the 2 sides agreed a last minute trade deal that there will be increased checks at the borders much more paperwork and disruption of the businesses. would also see big changes to immigration and security. d.w.

correspondent barbara faisal joins us from the french port of cali. well welcome barbara looks cold that is the poor having to become a customs border what changes will it say. there will be lots of changes here but let's still maybe just take one last moment to look at the stair you see here in the background because what you see there. on and no mention and this is the last time that they can do this easily and freely because there is just nothing between them and this ferry there front of course everything will change there will be so many more controls it will be lots of paperwork a lot of the wrong crissy there will be checks into the goods and so on and so for

so for the truckers themselves this is going to be become so much more hotter and also it has of course the symbolic importance it has a symbolic meaning because this is the final tear this is the final cut between the 2 sides that for more than around 50 years we're living so close together so how are people there feeling. that people are a bit sad you do feel among the inhabitants here a certain amount of free grant people who work for the port because the ports here is really what's come the lives off this is their main a existence will mainstay really and that is for them really a moment of his certain regret because they've they felt that they were so closely tied to britain there was no really there was no border there was really nothing between then just this pitch of water here which is just 37 kilometers nothing more

or less is and is so they are said but they also in a way are quite not to affect and say they will have to learn to live. if this is what they wanted then we can't help it we would just have to arrange us else with it we just have to sort of make do and yes it will become more complicated and yes we are using them as sort of close friends but they will still stay neighbors that's what eventually everybody here says yeah that's pretty much what a british prime minister barak is saying he gives the impression of a future relationship between britain and the e.u. will be close to what you're reading. boris johnson of course interprets this as a divorce almost not there that is not the case of course it's a big change it is also an emotional change it's emotional change for people who live in this area because this is no border area and this is somehow the end of the european union that didn't used to be like that and so in

a way that is it is means that for the for the the political side will sort of play into people's lives really and they will just have to figure out how to look to the future and there is a certain to get there is a certain said in this and of course they will have to manage they would just have to make do and they of course are free afraid of certain economical fallout if there should be less transport go through here but people just can't help but they say this is politics we would never have chosen to do this. thank you. another brother related years britain and spain have now reached a last minute or grievance on the future of gibraltar the british territory of the southern tip of the spanish peninsula it will become part of the schengen border free zone preserving freedom of movement across the border between spain and you wrote or without that agreement tens of thousands of spaniards and jubal terriers

who cross the floor frontier every day but have faced their customs and passport checks. open for sale and will have much more on bret's it and its implications for the new year in our business update straight after the show meantime we'll take a look at some of the other international stories we'll start in pakistan where police have arrested 24 people after a hindu temple in the northwestern town of caracas was set alight and destroyed several muslim clerics were among those taken into custody the temple became a target of muslim protests after the minority hindu trinity was given permission to renovate it. china has approved its 1st coded 19 vaccine for general use 2 shots sign of far. vaccine contains an inactivated form of the virus and doesn't require ultra ultra cold storage the state owned company says the drug is 79 percent effective but hasn't published

a full trial date of. the german chancellor angela merkel has called on germans to help beat the pandemic by sticking to the rules in the weeks and months ahead it was likely to be her final new year's address the chancellor said the country is facing hard times but now that vaccinations have begun hope is in sight . after a year dominated by one issue it came as no surprise that the main theme of chancellor angela merkel's traditional new year's address was the pandemic. to call one of the us panda me of the coronavirus pandemic was and is a once in a century political social and economic challenge the us either has to it's a historic crisis that has demanded a great deal of all of us and too much of some of us if i start i know that mustering this is story effort has required tremendous trust in patients on your part and continues to do so. though the pandemic and its effect on german

society dominated the speech it was also a message of hope with machall paying tribute to the german scientists who developed the biotech pfizer vaccine already in use in several countries and after 15 years this chancellor by the end of her political career beckoning merkel ended on a personal note in noyon we're not going as there will be federal general elections in one month and i will not be running for re-election. that's a day i'm likely speaking to your new years as federal chancellor for the last time in golf is thinking i don't think i'm exaggerating when i say that never in the past 15 years have we all experienced such a difficult year foreign or niihau and never have we greeted the new year with so much hope it's despite all of our concerns and some skepticism on civility in and so you and your families have my very best wishes for good health confidence and blessings on the new year 2021 months. oh political ends up

ahead of what's the chance of an address in full welcome michela so probably her last one after 15 years in office what do you make of it so far so we say probably because unless those elections produce a very different difficult situation where coalition talks go on into the next it will be the last one so there is a small chance we might see a talking again but i saw a german time things going pretty much for we saw very emotional scenes this year of her talking in parliament how it was breaking her heart to have to implement such a tough covered 900 measures particular going into that 2nd lockdown here in germany and this is evening we saw a chance a lot more her old self i'd say she says she's talking personal but then she would he doesn't talk presell she talks about this most likely being her last address she says it's not all about covered 19 and then she only brushes in passing those big

issues like climate change and europe space in the world so no agenda setting here at all but it's. trying to sow empathy with those people hit most like over 1000 here in germany as you talked about this being the most difficult year of her tenure how satisfied have germans been with the pandemic what they have been very satisfied and this against the backdrop of still rising death figures here and many in 10 years high level of cases with 30000 new ones here today alone but she was transparent from the word go she's the one who called on her state premiers in october to implement something approaching a lockdown much earlier and they didn't listen to her so even now going into more difficult times that germany she soaring in the opinion polls although one must say that in one opinion poll the german healthiness against spa now comes on top so the old wisdom that crisis time to times for government those in charge is coming true

here and she's seen doing what she does best which is price money and stiffening a year ago you just said what is what is i'm going to who are going to be remembered for it's going to be the migration crisis is it going to be that or is it going to be curbing. i think it's going to be a bit of both but i think that it covered 19 because it's such a historic crisis that none of us not even our grandparents remember anything more significant than this that we will remember as this overarching crisis monson not just in germany but also the one who called for multilateralism who called for europe to work together despite the initial reflex being very national who will still remember her for migration but not for migration and this is the big game changer that least through this pandemic she wanted to have a legacy of this grand european particularly with german germany having had the e.u. presidency during the 2nd half of this year she had big plans were tired of those who didn't really come true despite that trade that investment agreement we're now

seeing she used to be the migration chance until covered $900.00 came that's what she is now became a conflict chief was going to thank you and you cannot watch the chancellor's new year's address in seoul from 7 pm burning time that's in an hour you know i've been course on all of our platforms well as we say goodbye to 2020 d.w. correspondents around the world have been asking people what they're hoping for next year is a common thread who wants to be very different so this will. for me. i left him and i wish good health for every person for everybody in germany in 2021. of my do i hope to 2021 is actually putting my passport to sydney who has and actually just like being a bit more free and i like. out but there's just so much fear and it would be so nice to be my last feed to be able to meet family friends to be actually hug them

south america home to true veterans of the road we joined them on a voyage of discovery from the state of go us in brazil to sao paulo and the state of santa. then finally to the small city of minnesota it's in northeastern argentina players. playing chess players but what the families of. these trucks may be museum items back in germany but are still valiantly rolling back the years on the roads of brazil her. place our journey begins in the brazilian state of call us at a truck stop that's packed with old timers this one looks a little worse for wear head is definitely on. rusty sighed.

you know. if i won my way from bellaire. i want to try and load up some watermelons here and bring them to sao paulo. and does he always go the same way but it looks like the prophecy i've been taking the same route for 38 years from sao paolo to bel air and from just how. it would one when i get back to sao paulo i'll have a 970 kilometer journey hi i'm a woman i want the fish on my truck is still going after 6000000 kilometers on the clock although i have had to replace the engine a few times i spend more time caring for it with than for my family. will not be that way my life is spent in the truck. i did go to school but i dropped out to fulfill my childhood dream which has now become

a nightmare. life but if you love roses you have to live with the thorns to write. love in a bad. song what are those throwing stuff. roberto if it ever does some size is no 64 years old. his truck has helped him take care of 3 wives and 10 children he says with pride. this is else outs a popular truckers diner in the area. roberto lovingly calls his truck i might allow the yellow one it's 40 years old. going to keep your money else's husband was a truck driver too. that's him here with the 1113. there are a load of them still on the roads of brazil 13131513. 2013

the 1st from mercedes brazil good vehicles it was a moment to go home you know it's diesel not blood that runs through the veins of these men even their families get the bag. and yes cut me open and you'll find these old. truck driving is in our blood don't think. drivers can get a meal at ellison's for 15 play ice the equivalent of 3 euros 50 party and affordable fair. amount of food and if i have the money to get a new truck it will be another mercedes you know who moved to. the diner is located by the truck stop near sardine polish a small town about 1200 kilometers north of south palo.

from here it's just a few minutes drive to the offices of a fruit wholesaler. the company purchases entire harvests from farmers and then sells the property and set markets in the cities. roberto is hoping to get a delivery to sao paulo because it's close to where he lives. have faith in the lord with all your heart reads the company sign. roberto joins other drivers sitting outside. on. their own waiting to be assigned a delivery. of the little. league world of millions love that wait can take hours if not longer than was.

sometimes it's 2 or 3 days depending on demand. at long last a company representative emerges and has deliveries to assign to come. out for $150.00 a day ice per ton of properties with that money you'd be broke by the time you got to sell palo but that's all she has to offer. price of love. it's all about supply and demand when there are fewer trucks available the price rises when there are a lot like now the price goes down a lot of patience is a virtue in brazil and specially for truck drivers it's the only offer they receive all afternoon. working maybe a workout tomorrow god willing is a. little a. little slow but it isn't easy.

to last until sunderland plans to send a man to. elsa steiner the truckers can recharge their own batteries while also feeling alone. and homesick. legal battle has been on the road for 12 days and today is his beloved wife's birthday. song love the 2 he sends her happy rich on story of the truth. but it was sad to see you. love to do a lot of me tomorrow i'll probably be able to load a delivery and be in sao paulo on sunday. it was

a little. long but love. love love. love the next morning there are even more trucks lined up outside the wholesaler. the cost of the competition and speculation among buyers is paid by the drivers. love. of it the 4 trucks drive off without a buyer for the watermelons. they load up and set off you but they don't know where they will ultimately be unloading. what the wholesale or fruit talk now does is try to find a buyer. i mean they then send a fax for the driver to print out at a gas station. that's the sales like sims which the driver needs to be allowed into

the market yet. the beer doubles to my beacon is good but i don't set out until i know where i'm headed to avoid stress on the road. please if it's us who are left with any laws. losses there that day it's our time that's being spent and money for food there's no point getting the union involved they might resolve your current problem but then you're blacklisted and you won't get any more jobs from anyone to go on again which might explain why religious mantras are rare source of comfort also seen on the trucks themselves thank you all deals i can't say if i'll get on the road today we'll see more about way thanks thanks mate dave roberto decides to set off despite not having a precise destination for his delivery 1st he has to have his truck wait while

empty to ensure the weight of his load can be verified when delivered at the other end thad then he continues to the plantations to pick up 15 tons of watermelon thank. the state of going us is dominated by big landowners especially cattle breeders. they control the farming sector while also holding political posts in brasilia the connections they enjoy in the capital enable them to constantly expand their land assets they then lease their fields to local farmers. the farmers sell their produce to the wholesalers thank.

thank god i. was. allowed to play. live. love. love. love this is the best part of the journey when the trucks loaded up and we can finally get going. what ever the young ones can do so can the old. 15 tons of

watermelon on board headed for the state of south palm it's a 1200 kilometer journey from here which will take him 3 days. over half of all goods transported in brazil are delivered by truck often along very poor roads roberto has his own motto adorning his precious truck for the sake of life is worth living. the good. god is a baby again. but the world isn't.

we should. be as he thought of my own. age we know you can make the most. of the end. a year after that film was shot german car maker mercedes-benz opened a factory on farmland just 20 kilometers outside sao paulo the factory would make diesel trucks and later buses to. almost half of the trucks and buses on the roads of the country were built by mercedes benz told herself but despite the company's high profile our film crew were not allowed inside the factory gates here in south . pole. but a privately run museum in the town does open its doors specially for this man

a nice surprise for 80 year old quality engineer of the scented dungeon level who used to work at mercedes dope are still on it. and it's in the way this one's from my time at the company it has the heart of mercedes. although the body was made by nicola 50 years whom you call. yourself i feel nostalgic. i. went so i really miss that time. and there since the workers used to call the company by my mercedes and i want my money or seeds. in my time there were 15000 people working there there were 3 cooperative stores for the workforce you could buy everything you needed for one month people even clothes and house or appliances and at the end of the month it would be taken off

of your wages. but it was way cheaper than regular stores because the company bought it and even then i passed that. you also had excellent medical care provided in-house for staff and their families i missed this and the company also. at a football pitch for staff and a club where we could have dances to celebrate the festa joining us we were there all the time on friday we go home but on saturday we'll be back again. it's an office i feel. mama mercedes's now a distant memory brazil is facing a serious economic crisis demand on the truck market has slumped a mercedes benz dough brazil has already seen redundancies and severance packages perhaps it's no coincidence that the management are not keen on a foreign t.v. crew taking a look around.
